ੴ

Salok, Third Mehl:

He acts according to pre-ordained destiny, written by the Creator Himself.

Emotional attachment has drugged him, and he has forgotten the Lord, the treasure of virtue.

Don't think that he is alive in the world - he is dead, through the love of duality.

Those who do not meditate on the Lord, as Gurmukh, are not permitted to sit near the Lord.

They suffer the most horrible pain and suffering, and neither their sons nor their wives go along with them.

Their faces are blackened among men, and they sigh in deep regret.

No one places any reliance in the self-willed manmukhs; trust in them is lost.

O Nanak, the Gurmukhs live in absolute peace; the Naam, the Name of the Lord, abides within them. ||1||

Third Mehl:

They alone are relatives, and they alone are friends, who, as Gurmukh, join together in love.

Night and day, they act according to the True Guru's Will; they remain absorbed in the True Name.

Those who are attached to the love of duality are not called friends; they practice egotism and corruption.

The self-willed manmukhs are selfish; they cannot resolve anyone's affairs.

O Nanak, they act according to their pre-ordained destiny; no one can erase it. ||2||

Pauree:

You Yourself created the world, and You Yourself arranged the play of it.

You Yourself created the three qualities, and fostered emotional attachment to Maya.

He is called to account for his deeds done in egotism; he continues coming and going in reincarnation.

The Guru instructs those whom the Lord Himself blesses with Grace.

I am a sacrifice to my Guru; forever and ever, I am a sacrifice to Him. ||3||
